Localization of Emotion via EEG Analysis using 3D Trilateration

Abstract

Localization of cerebral electrical activity of emotional states on the basis of electrophysiological recordings is an important area of investigation in recent years. This field was explored to locate the sources of the emotions in the cortex. The theory that every emotion can have a unique trigger center in the cortex was followed. A precise and accurate method was used, the Trilateration, recognized in the GPS networks, which deduces the points of interest from the distances. This method gave the exact coordinates of the generating points of emotions in the surface area of cortex under the influence of modulating thalamic nuclei. It was found that the energies are stronger in the occipital and parietal part of the brain. Moreover the frontal part plays the role of inhibitor and stimulator of emotions.
